Advanced Numerical Research and Analysis Group (ANURAG) is a laboratory of the

Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad
, it is involved in the development of computing solutions for numerical analysis and their use in other DRDO projects.

History

ANURAG was established on 2 May 1988, to development of indigenous supercomputer.later in 1991,ANURAG became a part of defense R&D Organization.support aeronautical design work,[1] with the mandate of executing specific, time-bound projects leading to the development of custom designed computing systems and software packages for numerical analysis and other applications.[2] As of 2020, it is not longer functional or act as an independent laboratory. All the staff members are transferred to others DRDO labs in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi.[3]

Areas of work

ANURAG helps design and develop advanced computing systems. Much of this research is conducted in state-of-the-art concepts like parallel architectures, etc., in order to build up a technology base in these areas. Its areas of work are:[4]

  • Parallel processing technology.
  • Scientific Data Visualisation
  • System engineering, integration.
  • General purpose microprocessors.
  • 1 micrometre CMOS fabrication technology.
  • Design and development of
    VLSI
    chips & SOC development.
  • Processor related technology.
  • System software development for custom made processors.
  • Analog, RF and Mixed-signal ASIC design

Products

PACE

PACE (Processor for Aerodynamic Computations and Evaluation),

Molecular Biology
. These systems have been built using VME-bus based Pentium processor boards, ATM switches, and Reflective Memory communication hardware.

In 1987, India decided to launch a national initiative in supercomputing to design, develop and deliver a

P.V. Narasimha Rao in April 1995.[citation needed
]

In late 1998, ANURAG developed the 15 times more powerful "Pace Plus 32", which can be used to support missile development, as well as other fields. A 128-node PACE++ system, built using Pentium processor-based VME boards was unveiled by Dr.

teraflop
performance.

ANAMICA

ANAMICA (ANURAG's Medical Imaging and Characterization Aid)

Ultrasound
. The software has two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization techniques to visualize the images in various ways. The sequence of images obtained from any imaging system by scanning of a single patient is packed to form a three-dimensional grid. The software has also been modified for accepting data from Industrial CT systems.

General purpose microprocessors

ANURAG has designed and developed general-purpose

RISC processor, and works at 33  MHz clock speed. The complete software development tool kit is available for application development. A single-board computer
based on ANUPAMA is available for evaluation and software development. ANUPAMA is also available as an IP core.

ABACUS is a 32-bit processor for multi-tasking applications with virtual memory support. It is designed around ANUPAMA core with additions like MMU, two levels of cache, double-precision FPU, SDRAM controller. The IP core of ABACUS is available in Verilog RTL code. This processor is suited for desktop applications. A complete software platform is available for the ABACUS processor and a single board computer with ABACUS is implemented. Linux Kernel is ported.

Other technologies

ANURAG has designed a 16-bit DSP processor, which is available as an IP core and the design is packaged in 120-pin CPGA. It has also designed other processors and arithmetic cores. ANURAG has also been able to fabricate CMOS designs up to 1-micrometer size and with up to 100,000 gates. Die sizes of 14 x 14  mm have been achieved.
